He just broke up with his girlfriend and is already living with the devilish rich girl.

Half an hour later, the misunderstanding was cleared up.

The visitor was a high-ranking official from the Special Customs Administration.

Moreover, like Luo Yao, she is not human, but an ancient monster who has lived for an unknown amount of time.

She was someone Luo Yao knew, but Luo Yao clearly didn't want to see her.

After Bai Ziheng called to ask Luo Yao for her advice.

Luo Yao simply said lazily on the other end of the phone, "Just invite her for a cup of tea and tell her to get lost."

Bai Ziheng thought to himself, "You make it sound so easy."

This woman has ruthless methods.

Although she looks very kind now, just like her sister, her eyes are not open.

But the moment I open my eyes, I'm told I have to kill someone.

Bai Ziheng still gets chills whenever he thinks about that look he just received.

"I'm sorry, Minister Qin."

Bai Ziheng served a cup of tea.

"Our boss said she has something to do tonight, so..."

"She still refuses to see me."

Qin Shuo picked up his teacup, took a sip, and finally opened his eyes a crack.

Those eyes were light gray, with a thin mist veiling the pupils, giving people a chill down their spine when they looked at them.

"Never mind, I expected this to happen."

She put the teacup down.

"I'm here today for something else."

She turned her head, her gaze passing over Bai Ziheng and landing on Zheng Xingguang standing at the door.

"Xiao Guang, your father has a lot of opinions about your resignation."

Zheng Xingguang walked in from the door and stood in front of Qin Shuo with his back ramrod straight.

"Minister Qin, I—"

No explanation needed.

Qin Shuo raised his hand to interrupt him, but his tone wasn't particularly harsh.

"I just want to ask you face-to-face, why do you insist on leaving?"

Zheng Xingguang was silent for a few seconds, then looked up and met Qin Shuo's eyes.

"Minister Qin, I have been in the Special Administration Bureau for three years. During these three years, I have carried out dozens of missions, large and small, and I have never disobeyed orders."

"But I encountered some things recently that made me realize my problem. I was looking at things too one-sidedly. I only knew what I should do, but I never thought about why I should do it."

He paused, his voice not loud, but he pronounced each word clearly.

"So I want to see the world from more perspectives; I'm still too inexperienced right now."

Qin Shuo looked at him and tapped his fingers lightly twice on the armrest of the chair.

"Um."

She raised her hand and waved, then suddenly smiled.

That smile was completely different from her squinting expression just now; it even carried a hint of the wisdom of someone who had been through it all.

"Many heroes and great men in our Special Administration Bureau were once just like you."

Zheng Xingguang was taken aback: "They've worked as supermarket cashiers too?"

"more than."

Qin Shuo picked up his teacup and took another sip.

"Supermarket cashiers are nothing. Some have run barbecue stalls, opened noodle shops, carried bricks on construction sites, and sorted packages at express delivery stations for two years."

"Perhaps, just as you said, they also hope to see the world from multiple perspectives."

She put down her teacup, her tone becoming somewhat indifferent.

"But I can't say whether what they did was right or wrong."

Her fingers stopped on the armrest, and her eyes opened slightly again, her misty pupils looking at Zheng Xingguang.

"After all, you know that 80% of those who leave the Special Administration Bureau end up as... "

She didn't finish her sentence.

Zheng Xingguang spoke for her.

"traitor."

His voice was calm, but without the slightest hint of evasion.

Those clear eyes stared straight at Qin Shuo.

"Minister Qin, I would never do that."

"Yes, of course I believe you."

Qin Shuo put down his teacup and stood up from his chair.

She was half a head shorter than Zheng Xingguang, but her aura of being in a superior position made people afraid to look up.

"So, can you accept my commission in your personal capacity?"

Zheng Xingguang was stunned: "Entrust? You personally...entrust me?"

"There are some things that are not convenient for people inside the Special Administration Bureau to do."

Qin Shuo took an envelope out of his sleeve and handed it to him.

"But if you're no longer with the Special Administration Bureau, then this is the perfect task for you. Whether you accept it or not is up to you."

Zheng Xingguang took the envelope, glanced at it, and then looked up.

"Minister Qin, what's inside here...?"

"Let's see after I leave."

After Qin Shuo finished speaking, he turned around and looked at Bai Ziheng behind the cashier.

She resumed her smiling expression, her eyes crinkling into slits.

"I was originally planning to ask my old friend for help with this job, but alas..."

She sighed.

"She doesn't want to see me."

Bai Ziheng frowned.

He looked at the envelope in Qin Shuo's hand, then at Zheng Xingguang, his voice low and heavy.

"Minister Qin, the task you entrusted to my boss is certainly not a simple one. Do you think Zheng Xingguang can handle this task alone?"

Qin Shuo laughed, a laugh that held a profound meaning.

"So you can go with him too."

Bai Ziheng tapped his finger on the counter. "I—"

Before he could finish speaking, he froze.

A pair of arms reached out from behind and gently wrapped around his waist.

A soft touch pressed against my back, and I could feel the warmth emanating from that body even through the fabric.

Then a warm breath brushed against his ear.

Qin Shuo's voice rang in his ears, carrying that gentle yet dangerous tone.

"Yes...because I also want to see just how capable the family members she chose really are."

Her chin rested on his shoulder, her lips almost touching his earlobe.

"This is the first time she has made humans her servants."

Qin Shuo opened his eyes a little, a hint of provocation flashing in his light gray pupils.

"Do you know what kind of monsters her former subordinates were?"

Bai Ziheng's back was taut. He tried to break free from that hand, but the force was immense, making him feel suppressed.

"I--"

His voice was a little strained, but he spoke each word very steadily.

"There's no need to know her past. All I need to know is that she's my boss now, and that's enough."

Qin Shuo raised an eyebrow.

Then she laughed.

"Not bad, little brother."

She raised her hand slightly, her index finger gently touching Bai Ziheng's chest.

"The fragments of domination power that the headquarters lost are indeed inside your body. Ah, and the power of devouring, um... wait, there's something else I can't even see clearly. It seems like there's something else living inside your body..."

Her fingers slowly traced circles on his chest, with very light pressure, as if she were tracing some invisible lines.

"I'm getting more and more interested in you. If you accept this request from your older sister, I'll give you a little something extra."

Her voice was extremely low, with a magnetic quality that could melt your bones.

"Trust me, I will give you an unparalleled experience—"

The next second, her fingers were gripped by a claw covered in white fur.

Bai Ziheng's body expanded in an instant. Grayish-white bristles emerged from under his skin, his muscles bulged, and his bones crackled and popped.

His pupils turned into golden vertical pupils, his fangs protruded from under his lips, and a low roar came from deep in his throat.

Qin Shuo retreated three meters away in an instant and sat back down in the folding chair.

Her posture was so elegant, as if nothing had happened.

"Don't be angry."

She straightened her cuffs, her signature squinty smile on her face.

"I didn't expect that the family she chose this time would be so loyal. I hope it won't be like before, where she made the same mistake again."

White Wolf's pupils contracted slightly, and a low growl rumbled from his chest: "What do you mean?"

"What I mean is..."

Qin Shuo stood up, pushed his chair against the wall, and walked towards the supermarket entrance with his hands behind his back.

He stopped abruptly at the door and turned his head slightly to the side.

Those light gray eyes looked down at Bai Ziheng from his shoulder, and the smile on his lips faded slightly.

"As her relative from a thousand years ago, I have a piece of advice for you, brother..."

She pushed the door open, and the night breeze rushed in, making the stray hairs on her forehead flutter.

"Don't help her acquire all the powers."

She stepped out the door, her voice carried back by the night wind, so soft it seemed as if it might be blown away at any moment.

"Otherwise, you'll regret it."

"The commission is very generous; I suggest you consider it."

She waved and disappeared into the night streets.
